Monday, Feb, 3 at 7 p.m.—CASTLETON—Mental Health Speaker Dennis Gillan will be at speaking at Castleton University in the Casella Theater. Eleven years after the suicide of his older brother, Mark, Dennis Gillan received the second phone call he will never be able to forget. His younger brother Matthew had died by suicide, as well.
This motivational speaker takes the audience on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as he explains how he recovered from losing his two brothers to suicide. Gillan says his grief sent him into “a spiral of alcohol and substance abuse, where he found himself lost and struggling to escape a dangerously dark place.”
Gillan is a professional mental health speaker, sharing his story of perseverance with audiences everywhere. His story and message of hope will help others recognize the warning signs of mental distress, the benefits of therapy, and how he found peace in sobriety.
This event is free and open to the public and is sponsored by the Regional Prevention Partnership (RPP) program of Rutland Regional Medical Center. The Prevention Partnership program is a volunteer community work group dedicated to substance use prevention efforts for Rutland County youth and young adults.
